Upper Arm Lift / Brachioplasty Surgeon in Vancouver
The skin on our limbs can be affected by the same aging process as the skin elsewhere on our bodies, and this can sometimes lead to the upper arm appearing loose or dropping. Sun exposure, smoking, fluctuations in weight and genetic factors can also contribute to the skin being less elastic exacerbating this problem. While exercise can strengthen and tone the muscles of the upper arm, it can do little to solve the problem of loose skin.
A brachioplasty, or arm lift, is a procedure that can re-shape the upper arm by removing excess fat and skin resulting in more defined contours and a youthful appearance to your arms. It often requires a combination of excision (surgical removal) of the fatty tissue and skin as well as liposuction to the area.
Dr. Tregaskiss will spend time with you, make recommendations and help meet your needs and goals.
